What it means Mark is you are “grossly unremarkably boring” inside. (smile)
Glad you are doing well and can get this taken care of. Take care and thanks
for keeping us posted.

I got the results of my ct scan and chest x-ray. Other than the fact that I
have a cyst on my left kidney, everything looks good internally. Whoever put
this thing together has a unique perspective I must say. It reads something
like this: heart grossly unremarkable, lungs grossly unremarkable, kidneys
grossly unremarkable, liver grossly unremarkable and so on. You get the drift.
My prostate is enlarged but I guess there shouldn’t be any real surprise with
that. It seems to me that with my innards pretty much being regarded as
grossly umremarkable, it almost seems as though the technicians are
disappointed that they didn’t find a bunch of tumors and cancer and the like.
So what I am wondering from you brains out there, is what might the opposite of
grossly unremarkable be? The next thing now on the agenda for me is a second
opinion from a doctor at Beaumont Hospital scheduled for June 19. If he offers
the same options as I now have, those being prostate removal or radiation, then
I will need to decide between the two doctors for treatment. As much as I
don’t like the idea of having my prostate taken out, I don’t think I will do
radiation. Thanks to all of you who have posted your kind thoughts prayers and
good wishes, and as well to all your prayers and good wishes from those of you
who have communicated personally as well. I will keep you all tuned in to as
we move forward from this point.
Mark Martin, 73.
